This inevitably erases species-specific and inter-individual variations in human aging; thus, how to transfer
[83]
the findings to humans remains to be investigated. Inserting primate models (e.g., rhesus monkey) as an
intermediate transition may work. Certainly, the microbiota system is already highly sophisticated, and even
more so with human experiments. Human anti-aging studies must be optimized with updated statistical
tools and multi-omics analysis to obtain more reference data.
